Synopsis

Product Description
Among America's most admired,
awarded and frequently performed
composers, Ellen Taafe Zwilich, who
celebrated her 70th birthday in 2009,
remains young at heart. Performed
here by virtuoso pianist Jeffrey Biegel
for whom it was written, Millennium
Fantasy is based on a folksong that
Zwilich's grandmother sang to her as a
child. Images drew its inspiration from
a number of paintings held at the
National Museum of Women in the Arts
in Washington, D.C., including the
Alice Bailly self-portrait reproduced on
the cover of this disc. Zwilich, herself
featured in Charles M. Schulz's famous
Peanuts® comic strip, returned the
favor with a delightful series of musical
portraits of Schroeder, Linus, Snoopy,
Charlie Brown, Lucy, Peppermint
Patty and Marcie.
